according to what?

According to Cotto's fans, these are Cotto's (perceived?) weaknesses:

1. He seems to have a stamina problem.
2. He has some problems solving power-punching southpaws.
3. He sometimes forgets his defense and gets tagged.

Isn't it Cotto's perceived weaknesses are PAC's strengths?? ;) (Although no. 3 is also a PAC weakness)

;)

I dont know why your talking about Cotto. You Pac fans are gonna get a rude awakening if you're overlooking Ricky Hatton.

Arum: After Hatton, Pacquiao may fight Cotto

Top Rank promotions is now eyeing the World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight belt should Manny Pacquiao prevail over Ricky ‘The Hitman’ Hatton in their mega-fight scheduled May 2 in Las Vegas, Nevada. ABS-CBN Europe exclusively interviewed Top Rank boss Bob Arum on the last day of the UK press tour of Pacquiao and Hatton in London.

After Hatton, Arum wants the ‘Pacman’ to square off with Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico, the reigning WBO welterweight champion.

With 34 fights, Cotto has only one defeat and a record of 27 knockouts.

Arum believes a Pacman-Cotto fight is much bigger than fighting the retired Floyd Mayweather Jr., who dealt Hatton his only loss.

Arum is happy at how Pacquiao was warmly received by Filipino fans in England.

In fact, he thinks Pacquiao was given more media mileage in the UK compared to the Manchester-born Hatton.
Arum admits Hatton is a tough fighter, unlike Oscar dela Hoya that trainer Freddie Roach was able to penetrate through his weakness inside the ring.

Team Pacquiao left London yesterday for the United States to start training.
But before leaving England, Pacquiao thanked Filipino fans for their support.

Both Pacquiao and Hatton will hold a separate press tour in the United States.


Wow this year is fast becoming a golden year for boxing... With fights like;

JMM vs. PBF Jr. @ 147 :lolhaha:

PAC vs. Cotto @ 147

These are mouth watering match-ups... ;)
.

Cotto is way too strong and talented for Pac Man. Manny will not be physically imposing to Cotto. Cotto would seriously hurt Pac Man. I pick Cotto over Hatton too. Cotto will give Hatton a beating like he has never experienced before. The Cotto-Pac Man fight will happen if Manny beats Hatton since both are promoted by Top Rank.

Cotto is the man to beat in WW imo. Not Mosley or Margacheato. If Williams decided to come down at 147, then it will be diff story.

based off what? he lost the unification bout to margarito..which made tony the man at ww..then he lost to shane which makes shane number 1...explain your logic?

There's a big possibility that the planned PAC-Cotto fight might be derailed by Clottey... :( In fact, I pick Clottey to defeat Cotto...
